         “Life is speeding up. Everyone is getting unwell.”
          This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unknown citizen who lived
    in Rome in AD 52 wrote it.
         We all love new inventions. They are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives.
         But have all these developments really improve the quality of our lives?
         Picture this: You’re rushing to finish your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone rings, a
    QQ message from your friend appears on the screen, the noise from the television is getting louder and
    louder. Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work. Now you have to stay up all
    night to get it done. How calm and happy do you feel?
         Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave us feeling stressed and tired.
    Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have no telephones, no cars, not
    even any electricity often seem to be happier? Perhaps because they lead simpler lives.
         One family in the UK went “back in time” to see what life was like without all the inventions we have
    today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons Benjamin, 10, and Tomas, 7, spent nine
    weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phones.
         The grandmother, Lyn, said, “It was hard physically, but not mentally.” She believed life was less
    materialistic. “The more things you have, the more difficult life becomes,” She said. The boys said they
    fought less to fight over, such as their computer. Benjamin also noticed that his grandmother had
    changed from being a “fashionable, beer-drinking granny, to one who cooked things.”
         Here are some simple ways to beat the stress often caused by our inventions!
         Don’t be available all the time. Turn off your mobile phone at certain times of the day. Don’t check
    your e-mail every day.
         Don’t reply to somebody as soon as they leave a text message just because you can. It may be fun
    at first, but it soon gets annoying.

    1．The passage is mainly about        .

    A．problems with technology    
    B．improvements of our life with technology
    C．the important roles technology plays in our everyday life
    D．major changes which will be likely to happen to technology

    2．The writer quoted what a citizen in ancient Rome said at the beginning of the story in order to        .

    A．share a truth about life      
    B．tell us what life was like long time ago
    C．make us wonder what causes such a thing to happen
    D．point out that you experience some big problems and they may be
          the same

    3．The family chose to spend some time in a 1940’s house because        .

    A．they liked to live simple lives
    B．they were curious about how people lived without modern inventions
    C．they were troubled by modern inventions
    D．living in a different time would be a lot of fun for them

    4．What does the word “available” in the suggestion offered by the writer mean?

    A．Busy on line
    B．Free
    C．Be able to
    D．Be found by others.

         Counterfeit (假的) medicines are a widespread problem in developing countries. Like other counterfeits,
    they look like real products. But counterfeit drugs may contain too little or none of the active ingredients
    (原料) of the real thing.
         People do not get the medicine they need. And in some cases the counterfeits cause death. Twenty
    children in Bangladesh died last year after being given acetaminophen (醋氨粉). The medications contained
    ingredients that looked, smelled and tasted like the real thing. The medicine was produced by a local drug
    company that used a dangerous substitute to save money.
         The problem with counterfeit medicines is especially bad in Africa, Asia and Latin America. The
    W. H. O. estimates that up to thirty percent of the medicines on sale in many of those countries are
    counterfeit.              .
         The W. H. O. says counterfeits make up less than one percent of the illegal drug market in countries like
    the United States, Canada, Japan, and New Zealand.
         But the agency also says as much as fifty percent of the medicine sold on the Internet is counterfeit.
         Much is being done to fight counterfeit drugs. Several companies are developing ways to make
    counterfeits easier to identify. And there are existing methods, like a machine that can quickly identify
    chemicals in pills to confirm if the pills are real. Other ideas include things like special tracking codes for drug
    packages. People could send a text message with the code and get a message back proving that what they
    bought is listed in a database. Some drug makers and other companies put three-dimensional images called holograms (条形码) on their products as a security device.                                                                   

    1. What advice can we get from Paragraph 4? (no more than 8words)
        ______________________________________________.                                                                
    2. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? (no more than 10 words)
        _______________________________________________.                                                              
    3. Complete the following statement with proper words. (no more that 4 words)
        A local drug company produced counterfeit medicines by using dangerous substitutes 
       ______________________________________________________________________________.
    4. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with a proper sentence. (no more than 10 words)

         Reading is very important to help you learn English. To learn as much as you can from reading, you need
    to read different kinds of English. This book provides not only different kinds of English, but also a good way
    to check your reading ability.
         There are four parts in the book:
         Part 1 is Messages: In this part somebody wants to send information in writing to somebody else. There is
    a test on timetable and a test on text messages.
         Part 2 is People: In this part all the tests are about people. For example, there is an informal letter between
    friends. There is formal English in biography (传记). There is a job application as a model to help with your
    writing, as well as testing your reading.
         Part 3 is Places: In this part, too, many different kinds of English are shown, some informal and some
    formal. There is the informal English of a holiday postcard. There is also the formal English in a letter of
    complaint.
         Part 4 is Things: You will find some descriptive writing in this part. There are descriptions of clothes and
    of a computer.
         You can do these tests in any order you like, or you can do all the tests with a formal or informal text. I
    enjoyed writing this book and I hope you enjoy using it.

        As a student, you must be excited to know something about American school students. In fact, just like
    in China, in the United States, high school is usually divided into two periods, the first two or three years are
    called "junior high school" and the other is "senior high school".
        In China, children enjoy free education of nine years, but in the United States, the students enjoy free
    education until they are 18 years old. As a result of the free education system (制度), American children
    have little difficulty in going to senior high school.
        American high school students can take part in a lot of activities outside of the classroom. The activities
    are organized by the school, such as joining a music group or a sports team. Certainly, just like us students
    in China, American students have to work hard in order to get good marks if they want to go to a good
    university. They take classes in all kinds of subjects all through the high school period. And those who come
    out with low marks at the end of a school year and who should repeat a grade are often allowed to go on to
    the next grade.
        In American high schools, there is fighting or hurting or other kinds of bad behaviors. So children who
    want to go to university are often sent to suburban (郊区的) high schools, where most students want to go
    to university and the atmosphere (氛围) is quite different.
    1. Activities outside of the classroom refer to ______.
    [     ]
    A. what the students do after class in school
    B. what the students learn in extra classes
    C. what a music group or a sports team do
    D. what the teachers do after class for the students
    2. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
    [     ]
    A. The time of free education in China is longer than that in America.
    B. Those who get good marks can go to a good university.
    C. American students can take all kinds of subjects during the high school period.
    D. They can be allowed to join the next grade even if they fail the school-year exam.
    3. The writer of the passage tells us the truth that ______.
    [     ]
    A. the atmosphere in high schools is quite different from that in a university
    B. none of the schools in cities are good for learning
    C. suburban high schools are good places for learning
    D. all the American students want to go to university

         British towns and cities have rich experience in providing accommodation (膳宿) for students and there
    are many cheap, comfortable and safe places to live.
         You should always try to arrange your long-term accommodation before leaving home. Your school
    should be able to help you with it. When you are accepted by a school, you will usually receive a package of
    information including accommodation information. Complete the accommodation application form and return
    it before the deadline (最后期限). If the school accommodation is not available, the accommodation advisory
    (顾问的) office of your school can help you find private accommodation.
         If you're coming to the UK for the first time, accommodation provided by your school might be the most
    suitable choice. This is a choice taken by more than half of the international students. There are plenty of
    advantages of living in accommodation provided by the school: you can live close to where you are studying;
    you will get to know other students easily; and most importantly, you will be living in a safer environment.
    This kind of accommodation is also affordable: a room in a self-catering (自己做饭的) student apartment
    usually costs from 180 to 360 pounds per month. To live in a place where meals are included you are expected
    to pay from 320 to 400 pounds per month.
         If you choose to rent accommodation in private houses, the choices are lodgings, private hostels (招待所)
    and bedsits (卧室兼起居室). In a lodging, your landlord/landlady lives in the same house, possibly with his /
    her family, and prepares meals for you. For hostel accommodation and lodgings where meals are included,
    you can expect to pay from 300 to 400 pounds per month. For bedsit, you would pay from 200 to 380 pounds
    per month.

         Is learning a foreign language ever easy? Yes. If you are five and move to another country, you will
    quickly pick up the language. But what about for the rest of us who are no longer five, and need to be
    polite when traveling for business or for pleasure? I think that answer is also yes. Language learning can
    be easy if you don't want or need to learn too much. 
        The key to successful language learning in my mind is not to set the goal too high. It is rather like
    running. Even if you run twice a week, you don't necessarily want to be able to run a marathon. You
    might just want to maintain a level of fitness. I think the same can be true for language learning.
         Let's get back to the goal. If you decide to learn ten words in a foreign language before visiting the
    country, you know that you will manage to do this. However, if you decide to attain conversational
    fluency, unless you are an exceptionally talented individual, you will probably fail and give up in disgust.
         It is also far easier to start learning a foreign language than to finish. In other words, the better you
    are, the slower it can be to improve, because you will get stuck with grammar, making sentences,
    learning less common words, etc. If you are only trying to learn a few foreign words and phrases, you
    will enjoy faster progress, have more fun, and won't have to spend too much time. 
        The idea of learning only a few hundred words in a language, and then stopping, isn't the usual
    approach to language learning, but it can be a very rewarding and entertaining activity.
    1. In the writer's opinion, it is easy for adults to learn English if _____.
    [     ]
    A. they are especially talented individuals
    B. they don't want or need to learn too much
    C. they have to spend a lot of time on it
    D. they have a chance to go abroad
    2. The writer intends to express that learning only a few hundred words in a language, and then
        stopping, _____.
    [     ]
    A. is the usual method of learning a language
    B. is of no use for learning a language
    C. may cause a lot of mistakes while traveling
    D. can be rewarding and entertaining
    3. The writer believes that if you want to be good at a foreign language, you will probably _____.
    [     ]
    A. forget your own goals
    B. become a gifted language learner
    C. get tired of learning it
    D. reach your learning goal in advance
    4. The best title of this passage would be _____.
    [     ]
    A. Easy Language Learning
    B. Hard Language Learning
    C. Fluency in a Foreign Language
    D. A Method of Language Learning

          People with less education suffer fewer stressful days, according to a report in the current issue of the
    Journal of Health and Social Behavior.
          However, the study also found that when less-educated people did suffer stress it was more severe and
    had a stronger effect on their health.
          From this, researchers have concluded that the day-to-day factors that cause stress are regular. Where
    you are in society determines the kinds of problems that you have each day, and how well you will cope with
    them.
          The research team interviewed a national sample of 1, 031 adults daily for eight days about their stress
    level and health. People without a high school diploma reported stress on 30 percent of the study days, people
    with a high school degree reported stress 38 percent of the time, and people with college degrees reported
    stress 44 percent of the time.
         "Less advantaged people are less healthy on a daily basis and are more likely to have downward turns in
    their health." leading researcher, Dr. Joseph Grzywacz of Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center,
    said in a prepared statement."The downward turns in health were connected with daily stressors (紧张刺激物),
    and the effect of daily stressors on their health is much more damaging for the less advantaged."
          "If something happens every day, maybe it's not seen as a stressor." Grzywacz says. "Maybe it is just life."
    1. Stress level is closely related to ______.
    [     ]
    A. family size
    B. social position
    C. body weight
    D. work experience
    2. Which group reported the biggest number of stressful days?
    [     ]
    A. People without any education.
    B. People without high school degrees.
    C. People with high school degrees.
    D. People with college degrees.
    3. The less advantaged people are, the greater ______.
    [     ]
    A. the effect of stress on their health is
    B. the effect of education on their health is
    C. the level of their education is
    D. the degree of their health concern is
    4. Less-educated people report fewer days of stress possibly because ______.
    [     ]
    A. they don't want to tell truth
    B. they don't want to face the truth
    C. stress is too common a factor in their life
    D. their stress is much greater

          When students think of learning a foreign language, the first thought is of books, exercises, and audio
    cassettes. Those are important to learning but sometimes a little bit boring. Therefore, it is time for us to
    spice things up a bit.
          Things like a cellphone can keep your interest level high. It's a perfect study material. You have it with
    you day after day, you are familiar with how it works and you can use it to practice whenever you have time.
    You don't need to have your books by your side or stay in your room to listen to tapes. Let's take a look at
    how to add your cellphone to your study tools.
          Set up your cellphone to use the language you want to study. Go to the menu, find settings, locate
    language and change it to English or Spanish, which benefits your language learning.
          Look at the buttons and connect those items with the new vocabulary. This enables you to master simple
    words and phrases with little effort. For example, each time you open up your cellphone you'll see "messages",
    "games" and "calls made". These words begin to take root if you see them again and again.
          When you have time, take out your cellphone and start hitting buttons. You'll be surprised at all the
    vocabulary you can learn by playing with the different menu items. Some things you'll recognize immediately
    and others you can guess just by where you find them.
          It can keep your learning fresh and interesting. And that's important because boredom is a big problem
    with language learners. You need variety and a cellphone is one way to get it.
    1. The underlined part "spice things up" in the first paragraph means "______".
    [     ]
    A. make things interesting
    B. make things realistic
